Oprah Winfrey has recently made her way to the UK, despite Prince Harry having previously described the country as too dangerous for Meghan Markle.
The "Queen of Talk" decided to visit Britain, and it’s hard not to speculate whether she paused to consider how Prince Harry has been vocal for what feels like an eternity about his security concerns. His grievances have aged poorly, becoming a saga of melodrama that makes soap operas seem restrained. In an interview with ITV this past July, Harry stated that he would never bring Meghan back to the UK, citing concerns for her safety.
Currently, Harry is embroiled in a legal battle to have his automatic police protection reinstated, allowing him to bring his family back to the UK in the future. However, it’s hard to reconcile his complaints with the fact that he was recently seen in New York City surrounded by an entourage that could rival a small military unit. With at least five police cars and a squadron of bodyguards, one would think they were protecting the crown jewels. But what exactly is Harry so afraid of? Does he genuinely believe he’s being targeted?
To most, the idea of a prince needing such extensive security might seem excessive, especially given his steep decline in popularity. Harry’s public standing has fallen so low that it’s difficult to imagine anyone even being interested in finding him. He has become like a faded postcard from a glamorous trip that no one cares to remember. And let’s be honest—there seems to be no credible threat on the horizon. His controversial comments about the Taliban haven’t amounted to anything concrete. If Harry could present a legitimate danger, maybe the public would take his concerns more seriously, but right now, it all seems as believable as Meghan’s outlandish claims.
What seems more likely is that Harry has already mapped out a contingency plan. If something were to happen, many would assume it was all part of a larger scheme. Imagine this scenario: Meghan Markle becomes the "Widow of Sussex," playing the role of the grieving wife while cashing in on a hefty inheritance. Can you picture her working that angle, making a public plea for sympathy? It’s not far-fetched to think she might milk the situation for all it's worth, despite whatever Prince Harry might say now.
Meanwhile, Oprah Winfrey has been enjoying a carefree jaunt through London, seemingly unbothered by Harry's remarks. The billionaire talk show host was spotted posing for pictures on Bond Street this week, looking relaxed and at ease. Oprah was accompanied by fellow U.S. television host Gayle King, and the duo made the most of their trip to the UK. They were also joined by film director Ava DuVernay to catch actor David Oyelowo’s performance in Shakespeare's Coriolanus at the National Theatre.
Oprah’s London visit serves as yet another reminder of how out of touch Prince Harry’s antics have become. While Oprah enjoys her time in the UK without apparent concern, Harry continues to make claims that increasingly damage his own credibility. It’s another cringe-worthy episode in the never-ending saga of the Sussexes’ misadventures. With every new assertion, it becomes clearer that Harry is in danger of fading into irrelevance, rather than facing any tangible threat. As the world moves on, Harry’s position on the global stage appears ever more tenuous.
